The long-awaited Tupac biopic, All Eyez On Me, is finally here. With actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. portraying a spitting image of the West Coast legend, many were excited to see the end result.
However, not everyone was satified. One being Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s wife, who shared her thoughts on Twitter.
Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.

Many of you may not have had the chance to view the film yet, as it officially hits theaters tonight (June 16). But here are the facts that apparently were not as accurate as portrayed on the big screen.
Pac never read me that poem. I didn’t know that poem existed until it was printed in his book.

Pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for LA. He had to leave abruptly and it wasn’t to pursue his career.

I’ve never been to any of Pac’s shows by his request. We never had an argument backstage.

To lighten the situation, she thanks the actor and actress who plays Pac and herself accordingly.
To @KatGraham and @Dshippjr this is no fault of yours. Thank you for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles.

You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.

And let’s not forget. Tupac Shakur would have been 46 years old this year. Happy birthday to one of the GOATS.
Happy birthday Pac, you are cradled in my heart for eternity.
I love you.— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017
